Columns, numerous, close, and massive, without bases, or with wide, level, reduced basics, and exhibiting great variety in their capitals, from a simple square block to a wide-spreading bell, elaborately created with palm-leaves or any other forms recommended by vegetation, particularly in some version for the lotus plant, bud, or rose.

The work of a big concave molding to crown the entablature, decorated with vertical flutings or leaves.

Walls and columns decorated with a profusion of sculptures in incised outline, often of admirable precision (see cavo-rilievo), or in low relief, representing divinities, men, and animals, with innumerable hieroglyphics, brilliant and true, though simple, coloring being superadded. A remarkable feature of Egyptian architecture is the grandeur of its mechanical operations, as in cutting, polishing, sculpturing, and transporting enormous blocks of limestone and of granite, and in its stupendous excavations in the solid rock. The prototype of the Greek Doric order is to be sought in such Egyptian columnar structures as the grotto-façades of Beni-Hassan; and from the Egyptian lotus carvings and decoration were developed many characteristic Assyrian decorative motives, as well as the Ionic capital and the graceful anthemion-molding of Greece.
